It’s no denying that Sourav Ganguly and MS Dhoni are two names that changed the face of Indian cricket over a decade. To celebrate the birthdays of two of India’s greatest leaders on the cricket field – MS Dhoni (July 7) & Sourav Ganguly (July 8) – Star Sports, India’s leading broadcaster, conducted a survey in which the two captains were judged on 8 parameters developed in association with ESPNCricinfo. In the end, Dhoni edged out Ganguly as India’s greatest captain by the slimmest of margins when the results were announced on the recent episodes of Cricket Connected English & Hindi.
MS Dhoni finished narrowly ahead of Sourav Ganguly in a Star Sports Cricket Connected Survey to determine the greater Indian captain. Dhoni's performance with the bat while captain proved to be the difference. In each category, an average score was calculated from each panel members’ votes. After the results of each were totalled together, Dhoni was ahead by less than half a point.
